The development of AAE is tied to the first encounters between Africans and Europeans during the slave trade and plantation slavery, which was a violent contact situation that transformed African American culture and spurred the development of a distinct language variety. Analyzing the origins and history of AAE is important for contesting oppressive

New Concert Season Celebrates
90 Years of Performances
By Mark Hartsell
“C
oncerts from the Library of Con-
gress” this season celebrates
its 90th year with more than
90 concerts, films, lectures, workshops
and a special anniversary blast from
ballet’s past: a re-creation, by the Martha
Graham Dance Company, of its historic
premiere of “Appalachian Spring” seven
decades ago in the Coolidge Auditorium.
“We are very excited about our spec-
tacular season coming up, celebrating
the Library’s 90 years as a distinguished
concert presenter on the world stage,”
Music Division senior producer Anne
Mclean said. “Nine is the number: nine
decades, nine world premieres of Library
commissions – including new works for
jazz and dance – and an exhilarating
total of 90-plus events to look forward
to. The caliber and range of the Library’s
concert series is attracting an enthusias-
tic, diverse and growing audience, both
onsite and online.”
The new season, announced this
week, gets started Oct. 10 with a per-
formance by new-music ensemble
yarn | wire and concludes May 14 with
the Afro-Cuban jazz of The Pedrito Mar-
tinez Group.
In between, the Library celebrates
composer Marvin Hamlisch (Oct. 19),
explores French musical culture (Nov.

Ricardo Lopez (left) speaks as Oscar Ruiz listens on July 28 in the Mumford Room.
Event Explores Connections Between Culture, Disabilities
By Mark Hartsell
For all newcomers, moving to the
United States requires learning about and
adapting to a new culture. For some, the
transition requires something more: a dif-
ferent way of thinking about how persons
with disabilities are viewed and treated.
“I have interacted with deaf people
from other Latino countries, and they
don’t talk about their rights or anything
like that,” Ricardo Lopez, who is deaf, said
at the Library of Congress last week. “This
is all brand new for them when they come
here. It’s a new way of thinking about it.”
Lopez joined three other panelists in
the Mumford Room on July 28 for “His-
panics with Functional Diversity,” an
exploration of the connections between
disabilities and cultural heritage.
The event, staged in recognition of the
25th anniversary of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), was presented by
the Hispanic Cultural Society in associa-
tion with the Library of Congress Orga-
nization of Employees with Disabilities,
the Office of Opportunity, Inclusiveness
and Compliance, the Hispanic Division
and the Librarian of Congress’s Hispanic
Initiative.
The program featured four panelists:
Lopez, a librarian at Gallaudet Univer-
sity; Juan Manuel Guillermety, a patent
examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trade-
mark Office; Maria Proschan, a vision-
rehabilitation teacher at the Maryland
Department of Rehabilitation Services;
and Oscar Ruiz, a U.S. Department of
Transportation program assistant.
Karen Nieves-Lugo of George Wash-
ington University moderated the discus-
sion.
Dealing with disability-related issues,
panelists said, can be more difficult for
those who migrate to the United States
from jurisdictions with different laws
and attitudes regarding persons with
disabilities.
In some countries, a person with a
disability may be viewed as cause for
shame – “bueno para nada,” or good for
nothing, as one audience member said.
Lopez, for example, said the word ‘deaf’
often is considered negative in his native
Puerto Rico.
Proschan, who is blind, had similar
experiences as a young person in Colom-
bia and Venezuela.
“In the time I was growing up, we were
viewed as people who are vulnerable,
sometimes helpless and of question-
able potential,” said Proschan, who later
moved to the U.S. to study and live.
Once in a country such as the United
States, with different attitudes and more
legal protections, newcomers might not
understand the rights to which they are
entitled.
“Activities like this will expose people
to the culture and it will do some educat-
ing that people with disabilities are not
to be set aside,” Lopez said. “I’ve seen
this time and again, so we need these
kind of educational programs. The way
we address this, the way we resolve it, is
to educate people.”
The combination of disability and
migrant status can leave Hispanics par-
ticularly vulnerable economically, said
Ruiz, a Puerto Rico native who has cere-
bral palsy.
In the Hispanic population, he said,
large numbers of persons are unemployed
or underemployed – a situation that’s still
worse for Hispanics with disabilities.
The unemployment rate of persons
with a disability was 12.5 percent in 2014,
Ruiz said, while the rate for those without
a disability was 5.9 percent. Workers
with a disability are more likely to be
employed part-time than those without.
“When talking about disabilities, one
of the first things to talk about is that dis-
abilities create poverty, poverty creates
disability,” Ruiz said, noting that those
persons also might have less access to
health care.
Still, the panelists said, through their
own efforts and the accommodations
mandated by the ADA, anything is pos-
sible.
“No one is going to choose for me
what I am going to study, where I am
going to do it,” Proschan said. “It is going
to be me who’s going to have that deci-
sion in my hands. That was powerful,
extremely powerful.” u

impact of technology on music via the
demonstration of a 3-D printer-created
guitar (Feb. 4), among many other events.
The season centerpiece, though, is a
series of events with the Martha Graham
Dance Company.
In 1944, the company starred in a
milestone of American – and Library
of Congress – music history: the world
premiere, in the Coolidge Auditorium, of
Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring.”
The ballet not only debuted at the
Library but also was created by Martha
Graham as a commission with funds
from the Library’s Coolidge Foundation.
On April 1 and 2, the Graham com-
pany will re-create the original perfor-
mance, using the same choreography and,
as at the premiere, a 13-piece chamber
orchestra.
The Graham festival also will feature
performances of other Library dance
commissions: Samuel Barber’s “Cave
of the Heart,” Carlos Chávez’s “Dark
Meadow” and a new choreography work
by Pontus Lidberg set to music by Irving
Fine. In addition, the festival includes
film screenings, lectures and a panel
discussion.
The new season also continues the
Library’s storied history as a commis-
sioner of new works (now totaling nearly
600) with the premieres of nine new
pieces, by Michael Hersch, Paul Lansky,
Hannah Lash, Matthias Pintscher, Gabri-
ela Lena Frank, Brian Ferneyhough, Maria
Schneider and Frederic Rzewski, in addi-
tion to the new dance work performed
by the Graham company.
“This season features nine new Library
commissions by a broad range of compo-
sitional voices,” music specialist David H.
Plylar said. “Taking into account the large
number of previously commissioned
works that will be performed alongside
these new pieces – by some of the best
musicians the contemporary-music world
has to offer – the Library’s historic and
continuing advocacy of new music will
be evident all year.”
Also new this season: the ticket dis-
tributor.
Tickets for events will be distributed
through Eventbrite, which will eliminate

VHP Launches
Campaign for
D.C.-Area Vets
In recognition of the 70th anniver-
sary of VJ-Day, the Library of Congress,
through its Veterans History Project
(VHP), is launching a major campaign
to preserve the stories of World War II vet-
erans residing in and around the nation’s
capital.
VHP is offering Washington-area vol-
unteers a unique opportunity to interview
their close veteran relatives or friends at
the Library for inclusion in the project.
The project will soon reach 100,000 indi-
vidual collections of stories, photographs,
diaries and letters of the men and women
who served their country during wartime.
VHP this year celebrates its 15th anni-
versary. The Washington-area campaign
is made possible through the generosity
of the Buffy and William Cafritz Family
Foundation in honor of longtime Wash-
ington, D.C., resident and World War II
veteran William Cafritz.
The campaign kicks off Aug. 7 with
the first of six special training sessions –
all free and open to the public – where

Dudziak Named Kluge Chair in Law
Librarian of Congress James H. Bil-
lington last week announced the appoint-
ment of Mary L. Dudziak, a prominent
U.S. legal historian, as the next Kluge
Chair in American Law and Governance
at the Library’s John W. Kluge Center.
Her appointment began Aug. 1. She will
spend five months in residence.
Dudziak is the Asa Griggs Candler pro-
fessor of law and director of the Project
on War and Security in Law, Culture and
Society at Emory University. An expert
in constitutional law, legal history, dip-
lomatic history and civil-rights history,
Dudziak will use the Library’s collections
and resources to research and write her
forthcoming book, “Going to War: An
American History.”
“The book is an effort to get to the
roots of an important problem: the rela-
tive absence of political engagement
with presidential war power in an era of
ongoing war,” Dudziak said. “American
military engagement has been persistent
through the 21st century, but as time goes
on Congress has appeared reluctant to
formally authorize war and the American
public has been somewhat disengaged
from the conflicts. This has left the presi-
dent without meaningful political limits
on the power to go to war.”
Dudziak will use items in the Library
collections to further her research. In
particular, she will examine congres-
sional papers held by the Manuscript
Division. Toward the end of her tenure,
Dudziak will deliver a public lecture on
her research.
Her books include “War-Time: An
Idea, Its History, Its Consequences,”
“Exporting American Dreams: Thurgood
Marshall’s African Journey,” “Cold War
Civil Rights: Race and the Image of Ameri-
can Democracy” and edited collections.
Dudziak received her Ph.D. from Yale
University, her J.D. from Yale Law School
and her A.B. in sociology from University
of California, Berkeley. u
